India part 1 – I'm here!

Hello from India! My company has sent me to our office in Bangalore, India to train some new System Engineers on the tasks that my team in Kansas City performs. I’m working with a team of 12 very dedicated associates, teaching them the tips and tricks of our processes. I left Kansas City on Dec 1st, touched down briefly in Dubai in Dec 2nd, landed in Bangalore on Dec 3rd, spent a couple days jetlagged, working, and sleeping. Now that I’m finally adjusting to the 11.5 hour time difference, I’m getting out into the city more. I visited a church and a Christmas Bazaar last weekend (and of course didn’t take my camera), and I’m heading to a large market tomorrow after work. My company has provided me with a dedicated driver for transport to work and wherever else I need to go, which is very nice since Bangalore has such heavy traffic. I’m planning on visiting the Taj Mahal this weekend, and a large palace in Mysore next weekend (and maybe even a jungle!). I’ll write a few more times while I’m here, and post lots more pictures.
